在以色列和伊朗周末发生袭击事件后,油价在本周初延续了涨势,加剧了人们对紧张局势升级可能扰乱中东原油供应的担忧。原油价格接近75美元,是六个月来的最高点,此前在赛斯森早些时候飙升了近6%,周五收盘时上涨了7%。上周对伊朗核设施和军事领导层进行空袭后,以色列对波斯湾南帕尔斯大型气田发动袭击,导致一个生产平台关闭。
Oil prices extended the rally at the start of the week after Israel and Iran exchanged attacks over the weekend, heightening fears that escalating tensions could disrupt crude supplies from the Middle East. Crude was near $75, the highest in six minths after surging almost 6% earlier in the sesson and closing Friday's session 7% higher. Israel launched an attack on the massive South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf, leading to the shutdown of a production platform, following airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and military leadership last week.
